**THROWBACK POST**

June 18 2014:

We are in!! There’s barely room to walk but we’ve got everything in the new place! It’s time to purge again!! Who in the Reno/Sparks area needs a couch? Got one too many. It’s a blue plaid la-z-boy sofa recliner. I may have more stuff once I start unpacking. Whew!!

We embraced bunches and bunches of times this morning. As I released from our last embrace and turned to head down the stairs, it felt as if a piece of my heart was being sucked out. A wonderful learning opportunity for me in the truth that he is a sovereign person. I miss that amazing young man I get to call my son. I KNOW he’s having a blast and I can’t wait to hear all about it when I pick him up Friday afternoon. I love his hugs, I love all the crazy silly noises he makes, I love his love for me … xoxo

More from Lillian’s “Emotions With Animals” blog series … “People sometimes make noises like cats do when they’re sad. People try to protect themselves by forcing the tears into a lump in the throat. People will be silent and thinking. The people will have a sad smile, half smile, or sad face … ” … xoxoxo

Debut of Thomas Darnell’s blog!

Little dude decided to start making movies. This one’s all about squishy things. I had absolutely nothing to do with the making of this, just put it on his site for him. He’s VERY excited to finally have his own website!

Thank you to Inova Apartments for the fun Tacos & Ritas event today, and for the lovely towel. Being vegan, I expected not to be able to eat. How lovely that the beans, rice, and soft taco were vegan! It was so incredibly good!! Thomas and I had a great time meeting fellow residents.
